The Grangemouth refinery was important to Scotland but not to the UK and therefore was expendable while the chemical plant is vital to the rest of UK. That’s why it was saved, writes Kenny MacAskill ✍️

The majority of unionists in the Scottish Parliament are List MSPs. Voting SNP 1&2 gifts unionists seats as d’Hondt will handicap the SNP regional vote so much that they will gain zero List seats. Vote SNP 1 Scottish Greens 2 and kick the unionists out.

So the 'MSP bugged' story turns out to have been nothing more than an employment dispute with no covert devices involved. The lesson here is to treat every SNP smear story with suspicion until the actual facts are revealed.

Never trust the red Tories, between them and the blue Tories they've had over 300yrs to improve Scottish lives but funnily enough it's only improved since 2007 when a certain SNP got into power, might not be perfect but a shit ton better than any WM or branch office party has ever done.

Our thoughts are with all those with the Scottish Press and Broadcasters at this difficult time.
Despite a coordinated effort by their luminaries to break the SNP aided and abetted by the UK Unionist Establishment, they all collectively failed.

After months of uncertainty, the UK government’s support for Grangemouth is welcome and long overdue.
Alongside this, the Scottish Government committed funding last week to support up to 460 new jobs - showing a long-term future for the site is achievable.
